!iSí se puede!

00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:19.077
First name is Carmen.

00:02:19.077 --> 00:02:20.245
My last name Castillo.

00:02:20.245 --> 00:02:21.413
Your title?

00:02:21.413 --> 00:02:22.480
I'm the room attendant
in the Omni Hotel.

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:25.450
I'm the City Councilor
for Ward 9.

00:02:25.450 --> 00:02:27.018
Why do you think tonight is so
important?

00:02:27.018 --> 00:02:28.987
CARMEN: It''s not fair.

00:02:28.987 --> 00:02:30.289
We''ve got two hotel that
make almost...

00:02:30.289 --> 00:02:31.990
Biltmore Hotel makes $15
an hour

00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:34.726
and the Omni Hotel makes $14.68.

00:02:34.726 --> 00:02:37.262

FEMALE WORKER: Bye! Thank you!

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.944
When Carmen
started to run,

00:04:27.944 --> 00:04:29.812
our whole team
got together.

00:04:29.812 --> 00:04:32.015
We''re like, all right,
Carmen''s running.

00:04:32.015 --> 00:04:35.018
Carmen is a key leader
running in.

00:04:35.018 --> 00:04:36.352
We have to help her.

00:04:36.352 --> 00:04:38.021
We have to get involved.

00:05:48.027 --> 00:05:51.397
Hey my baby.

00:06:22.029 --> 00:06:26.033
COURTNEY: What committee
would you want to be on?

00:07:48.885 --> 00:07:52.022
Hi, Carmen!

00:07:52.022 --> 00:07:53.357
CARMEN: These are the workers
for the Renaissance Hotel.

00:07:53.357 --> 00:07:56.660
They are here tonight
looking for our support.

00:07:56.660 --> 00:08:00.264
And they support us
when we''re running.

00:08:00.264 --> 00:08:02.866
So now it''s time
we support the workers.

00:08:15.446 --> 00:08:19.217
ORGANIZER: Thank you
to everyone for coming.

00:08:19.217 --> 00:08:20.818
As everyone can see,
we''re very powerful,

00:08:20.818 --> 00:08:22.854
we''re very big.

00:08:38.036 --> 00:08:41.440
CARMEN: Mr. President,

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.075

00:08:45.611 --> 00:08:49.014

CARMEN: The City

00:09:45.606 --> 00:09:47.108
You can make $18,000 a year.

00:09:47.642 --> 00:09:51.145
Nobody can live with that money.

00:09:51.479 --> 00:09:55.316
That''s why I
keep my job in the hotel.

00:10:01.022 --> 00:10:04.326

[street sounds]

00:15:29.429 --> 00:15:32.265
CARMEN: I''m the
City Councilwoman,

00:15:33.133 --> 00:15:35.268
Carmen Castillo.

00:15:35.268 --> 00:15:36.603

door knock, first floor.

00:16:47.343 --> 00:16:51.247
CITY COUNCILLOR (MALE): Over the
last two decades

00:16:51.247 --> 00:16:53.449
the amount of taxes levied on
commercial property

00:16:53.449 --> 00:16:55.451
has increased
disproportionately

00:16:55.451 --> 00:16:58.021
compared to
those levied

00:16:58.021 --> 00:16:59.656
on residential property.

00:16:59.656 --> 00:17:01.324
We need to act in order to
attract new investment

00:17:01.324 --> 00:17:04.094
and keep our small businesses

00:17:04.094 --> 00:17:06.329
and their owners in our
neighborhoods.

00:17:07.664 --> 00:17:10.701
My community
lives check by check.

00:17:11.401 --> 00:17:14.137
That''s a sacrifice.

00:17:14.137 --> 00:17:16.974
Two paycheck or maybe
three paychecks,

00:17:16.974 --> 00:17:19.009
they pay the taxes...

00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:21.111
We give a tax break
to the rich people,

00:17:21.111 --> 00:17:23.781
but we don''t
support the poor people.

00:17:23.781 --> 00:17:25.816
MALE SPEAKER: Roll
call, Madam Clerk.

00:17:25.816 --> 00:17:27.618

00:17:30.021 --> 00:17:30.821

MALE SPEAKER: This
meeting is now adjourned.

00:17:52.644 --> 00:17:56.515
I want to see who is
going to sleep good tonight,

00:17:56.515 --> 00:17:58.383
after passing this motion.

00:19:46.762 --> 00:19:50.232
We need, um,
1,200 signatures

00:19:50.232 --> 00:19:52.235

the City Hall

00:19:52.235 --> 00:19:54.103
to increase the minimum wage,
and...

00:19:54.103 --> 00:19:57.807
but we need the signatures
from the voters.

00:20:35.246 --> 00:20:38.482
Hello!

00:20:38.482 --> 00:20:40.151
We''re working to
increase the minimum wage

00:20:40.151 --> 00:20:42.120
for hotel workers-

00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:44.022
like they can make $15 an hour.

00:20:44.022 --> 00:20:46.157
You sound like you''re
gonna be

00:20:46.157 --> 00:20:48.393
a good worker for people.

00:20:48.393 --> 00:20:50.728
Okay,
thank you very much!

00:20:50.728 --> 00:20:52.030

MAN: How''d it go?

00:21:08.514 --> 00:21:09.815

00:21:09.815 --> 00:21:11.684
Ohhh, yeah!

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:17.690
MIGUELINA: Thirty-one
more...

00:21:23.996 --> 00:21:27.033
No?

00:21:46.853 --> 00:21:50.424
My head is not
working right today.

00:21:50.724 --> 00:21:54.428
I can''t see my mom
like before because

00:21:55.028 --> 00:21:58.499
I''m working more and...

00:21:58.499 --> 00:22:00.634
And I support my
husband taking English class,

00:22:04.038 --> 00:22:07.642
so I go to take
the class with him.

00:22:07.642 --> 00:22:10.244
It''s funny,

00:22:10.244 --> 00:22:12.180
take the class like in
the first level.

00:22:15.316 --> 00:22:18.953
But I have to support him.

00:22:18.953 --> 00:22:21.623
He needs to get the
language because if not,

00:22:21.623 --> 00:22:24.592
he can''t get a good job.

00:22:31.933 --> 00:22:35.037

00:23:03.866 --> 00:23:05.401
for the $15/hr hotel worker
minimum wage.

00:23:28.258 --> 00:23:31.862
[whooping and cheering]

00:23:31.862 --> 00:23:33.430

00:24:21.514 --> 00:24:24.884

God bless you guys, thanks.

00:25:28.349 --> 00:25:30.018
You''re welcome, bye bye.

00:26:34.284 --> 00:26:37.855
Who wants to go first?

00:26:37.855 --> 00:26:38.789
My name
is Yorjan Tavarez,

00:26:38.789 --> 00:26:40.191
I''m the owner of
this restaurant,

00:26:40.191 --> 00:26:43.160
located on 484 Elmwood Avenue.

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.329
There have
been a couple of issues,

00:26:45.329 --> 00:26:47.665
and I''ve been working with
the neighbors.

00:26:47.832 --> 00:26:51.469
When the restaurant was
first proposed

00:26:51.469 --> 00:26:55.006
with the liquor license,

00:26:55.006 --> 00:26:56.074
we invited Yorjan to a
meeting of neighbors

00:26:56.474 --> 00:27:00.011
to discuss the potential
problems

00:27:00.011 --> 00:27:02.013
and what we were
concerned about.

00:27:02.013 --> 00:27:05.984
And what he said was,
""Don''t worry -

00:27:05.984 --> 00:27:07.953
it won''t be a problem."

00:27:07.953 --> 00:27:09.020
But in fact it has developed
into a problem

00:27:09.020 --> 00:27:10.822
for numerous reasons.

00:27:25.771 --> 00:27:29.575
As soon as they get
their foot in the door,

00:27:29.575 --> 00:27:31.010
and a liquor
license is approved,

00:27:31.010 --> 00:27:33.012
all of a sudden, it will turn
into a nightclub

00:27:33.012 --> 00:27:36.015
and next thing you know it''s the
loud music,

00:27:36.015 --> 00:27:38.017
it''s late at night,

00:27:38.017 --> 00:27:39.552
there''s entertainment,
there''s shootings,

00:27:39.552 --> 00:27:41.321
all the things that you
don''t want

00:27:41.321 --> 00:27:43.022
in a residential neighborhood.

00:27:43.022 --> 00:27:45.558
For my understanding,

00:27:45.558 --> 00:27:47.093
this is supposed to
be a restaurant first,

00:27:47.093 --> 00:27:49.529
and I support
his business like restaurant,

00:27:49.529 --> 00:27:53.567
but I''m opposed to the
extended hours for Montecristo.

00:27:54.034 --> 00:27:57.904
MAN: You oppose
the extended hours?

00:27:57.904 --> 00:27:59.206
CARMEN: Yes, I oppose.

00:27:59.206 --> 00:28:00.107
I oppose the extended hours.

00:28:24.031 --> 00:28:27.568
We have a neighborhood,

00:28:27.568 --> 00:28:28.636
and we have a business.

00:28:28.636 --> 00:28:29.938
I have to be between the
business

00:28:29.938 --> 00:28:31.039
and the neighborhood.

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:33.475
I mean...

00:28:33.475 --> 00:28:34.743
This why I don''t want
them to look at

00:28:34.743 --> 00:28:36.578
whether the license is correct
or not

00:28:36.578 --> 00:28:38.680
because I don''t want them to
lose the business.

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:40.682
No, I don''t either.

00:28:40.682 --> 00:28:42.017
Exactly.

00:28:42.017 --> 00:28:42.951
This is my point.

00:28:57.032 --> 00:29:00.469
[noisy bar sounds]

00:29:05.241 --> 00:29:08.811
Nice to see you again.

00:29:08.811 --> 00:29:10.780
Nice to see you.

00:29:10.780 --> 00:29:12.448

00:29:12.648 --> 00:29:14.017
Nice to see you!
Hey, how are you?

00:29:14.017 --> 00:29:16.219
How are you?

00:29:16.219 --> 00:29:17.554
Good!

00:29:55.426 --> 00:29:59.030
[sounds of people talking]

00:31:12.139 --> 00:31:15.576
Nice to see you.

00:31:15.576 --> 00:31:17.011
Bye-bye.

00:31:18.012 --> 00:31:19.079
MALE ORGANIZER:

00:31:21.849 --> 00:31:24.485

00:31:27.722 --> 00:31:31.526
asking that this
ordinance be delayed.

00:31:32.927 --> 00:31:36.030
CROWD: No!

00:31:36.030 --> 00:31:38.032
Boo!

00:31:51.113 --> 00:31:55.183
MALE ORGANIZER: As long as it
takes until we win justice,

00:31:55.183 --> 00:31:57.319
they will not stop.

00:32:45.035 --> 00:32:49.006
ANNOUNCER: Thank you
for turning to Ten!

00:32:49.006 --> 00:32:50.174
REPORTER: It was a spirited
effort

00:32:50.174 --> 00:32:51.275
by Providence hotel workers,

00:32:51.275 --> 00:32:52.676
having gathered
more than 1,200 signatures

00:32:52.676 --> 00:32:54.512
on a petition to raise the
minimum wage

00:32:54.512 --> 00:32:56.981
at large hotels in the city,
to $15 an hour.

00:32:56.981 --> 00:33:00.852
They convinced the
Providence City Council,

00:33:00.852 --> 00:33:03.020
and last night it was approved
to let voters decide

00:33:03.020 --> 00:33:05.990
on a ballot question
this November.

00:33:05.990 --> 00:33:08.026
But then the house of
representatives

00:33:08.026 --> 00:33:09.861
put a measure in their version
of the state budget

00:33:09.861 --> 00:33:13.031
prohibiting cities and
towns

00:33:13.031 --> 00:33:15.100
from setting their
own minimum wages.

00:33:15.100 --> 00:33:18.136
MAN: This time I''d like to ask
State Representative Grace Diaz

00:33:19.037 --> 00:33:23.075
from the city of Providence to
come up and say a few words.

00:33:23.075 --> 00:33:26.011
GRACE DIAZ: I''m here because
I''m supporting people

00:33:26.011 --> 00:33:29.014
who are working hard every day -

00:33:29.014 --> 00:33:31.016
fighting for your rights,

00:33:31.016 --> 00:33:35.154
fighting for your family,
fighting for your kidsbecause you deserve it!

00:33:35.154 --> 00:33:38.524
CARMEN: I''m here today not only
representing the City Council.

00:33:39.658 --> 00:33:43.496
I''m here today
representing my community,

00:33:43.729 --> 00:33:47.033
workers community.

00:33:47.033 --> 00:33:49.435
It''s not fair to the state make
a bill

00:33:49.435 --> 00:33:52.472
to take the power from
the City Council.

00:33:52.472 --> 00:33:55.008
What is the next step?

00:33:55.008 --> 00:33:56.643
What do they want to do next?

00:33:56.643 --> 00:33:58.311
We live in Providence.

00:33:58.311 --> 00:33:59.846
We decide what we
need for our city.

00:33:59.846 --> 00:34:02.148
Thank you!

00:34:02.148 --> 00:34:03.817
CARMEN AND CROWD:

00:34:05.018 --> 00:34:08.488

00:35:39.015 --> 00:35:41.151
One dollar.

00:40:37.191 --> 00:40:41.028
What''s
going on young brother?

00:40:41.028 --> 00:40:42.763
How you doing?

00:40:42.763 --> 00:40:45.766
I''m a 34-year resident
of Ward 9 where I''m currently running
for City Council

00:40:45.766 --> 00:40:46.801
and my campaign slogan is,

00:40:46.801 --> 00:40:48.536
""Serious about
Change"

00:40:48.536 --> 00:40:50.038
and that I am.

00:40:50.038 --> 00:40:52.006
I founded in 2008 an
organization

00:40:52.006 --> 00:40:54.409
called Urban Men Against Murder.

00:40:54.409 --> 00:40:56.745
It''s on us
to save our kids!

00:40:56.745 --> 00:40:58.813

to save our kids!

00:40:58.813 --> 00:41:00.782

years we want to live!

00:41:00.782 --> 00:41:02.551
GROUP: A hundred
years we want to live!

00:41:11.093 --> 00:41:14.429
Thank you!

00:41:14.429 --> 00:41:16.031
Thank you for make
a cooperation

00:41:16.031 --> 00:41:18.367
to clean our neighborhood.

00:41:18.367 --> 00:41:19.234
CATALA: Absolutely.

00:41:19.234 --> 00:41:20.302
It''s my pleasure
and my honor...

00:41:20.302 --> 00:41:21.871
it''s something we
gotta live for.

00:41:21.871 --> 00:41:23.038
It''s just the first load;

00:41:23.038 --> 00:41:25.141
I''ll be back
for ten more.

00:41:25.141 --> 00:41:27.009
I don''t do that in
election time.

00:41:27.009 --> 00:41:28.945
Let me
finish explaining.

00:41:28.945 --> 00:41:30.279
We need to make sure that we
are out there all the time

00:41:30.279 --> 00:41:32.014
and staying active, not just
during the election season,

00:41:32.014 --> 00:41:33.950
and I think that right
there will create the change.

00:41:33.950 --> 00:41:37.553
Do you think I do this
because now I''m on a campaign?

00:41:37.553 --> 00:41:39.989
Well, I don''t want,
see I personally don''t know what

00:41:39.989 --> 00:41:42.592
your intentions are so I
wouldn''t want to speculate.

00:41:42.592 --> 00:41:45.996
What I would say is I hope that
you''re doing it

00:41:45.996 --> 00:41:49.032
because you care
about our community.

00:41:49.032 --> 00:41:51.034
Which is why I''m out here
doing it

00:41:51.034 --> 00:41:52.636
because I care about
our community.

00:41:52.636 --> 00:41:54.037
But, I don''t
want to, you know,

00:41:54.037 --> 00:41:55.372
I want like a clean campaign.

00:41:55.372 --> 00:41:57.407
When I do my first campaign,

00:41:57.407 --> 00:41:58.775
I don''t go to attack
nobody, you know.

00:41:58.775 --> 00:42:02.012
I really appreciate
you doing your campaign.

00:42:02.012 --> 00:42:04.081
I love working in team.

00:42:04.081 --> 00:42:06.450
I don''t want to run
a negative campaign either.

00:42:06.450 --> 00:42:08.986
I don''t want to run
a smear campaign,

00:42:08.986 --> 00:42:10.488
that''s not the point I was
trying to make

00:42:10.488 --> 00:42:12.123
at any time throughout
this dialog.

00:42:12.123 --> 00:42:15.092
Okay, thank you.

00:42:15.092 --> 00:42:17.028
But stay in touch.

00:42:17.028 --> 00:42:18.362
OK.

00:42:24.269 --> 00:42:27.705
SAHYMI: Hold it.

00:42:27.705 --> 00:42:29.674
[camera clicks]

00:42:53.399 --> 00:42:57.036
Ay, Carmen Castillo for Ward 9.

00:43:32.139 --> 00:43:36.009
I''m sending you to
a non-latino turf in Carmen,

00:43:36.009 --> 00:43:38.312
which is like all
spread out, right?

00:43:38.312 --> 00:43:40.814
JENNA: This is really a vote
about

00:43:40.814 --> 00:43:43.017
""Do the workers in this
city have power" -

00:43:43.017 --> 00:43:45.019
working class people,

00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:46.387
people that are
working one and two jobs,

00:43:46.387 --> 00:43:48.789
or is it the hotel owners
and the companies

00:43:48.789 --> 00:43:51.759
and the people that don''t give
a crap about us.

00:43:51.759 --> 00:43:54.696
That is what is at
stake right now.

00:43:54.862 --> 00:43:58.199
Maria Costa, ""Waha."

00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.035
Oh, yeah, ""Waha,"

00:44:01.035 --> 00:44:03.138

00:44:39.008 --> 00:44:40.309
This is Councilwoman
Castillo.

00:44:40.309 --> 00:44:41.678
This here is the President
of our club.

00:44:41.678 --> 00:44:43.146

00:44:43.146 --> 00:44:45.181
SECOND MAN: Pleasure
to meet you.

00:44:45.181 --> 00:44:46.983
I''m sorry, I''m dirty,
I''m sweating.

00:44:46.983 --> 00:44:49.452
I''ve been waiting
for one political person

00:44:49.452 --> 00:44:50.887
to come in and recognize us.

00:44:50.887 --> 00:44:52.022
We''re proud black men.

00:44:52.022 --> 00:44:54.157
We vote.

00:44:54.157 --> 00:44:55.091
Yeah, well,
you know,

00:44:55.091 --> 00:44:56.560
we need to sit down
and work together.

00:44:56.560 --> 00:44:59.329
You know, we''re part of
everything that''s going on.

00:44:59.329 --> 00:45:01.365
Why does the black
men gotta be left out?

00:45:01.365 --> 00:45:03.033
Why don''t our vote
mean anything no more?

00:45:03.033 --> 00:45:05.035
FIRST MAN: And you know,

00:45:05.035 --> 00:45:06.403
the real battle is
not you against us,

00:45:06.403 --> 00:45:09.973
it''s both of us
against what''s going on

00:45:09.973 --> 00:45:13.010
with the tradition of what''s
been happening

00:45:13.010 --> 00:45:15.613
and that''s all them
old white cronies

00:45:15.613 --> 00:45:18.516
keep on collecting money.

00:45:18.516 --> 00:45:20.818
No, no, no, no, no!

00:45:20.818 --> 00:45:22.353
That''s what it really is.

00:45:22.353 --> 00:45:23.521
That''s what it really is.

00:45:23.521 --> 00:45:25.156
You know what I''m saying?

00:45:25.156 --> 00:45:26.958
We''re not all about
black and white and all that.

00:45:26.958 --> 00:45:28.693
Any consequences
with your life,

00:45:28.693 --> 00:45:30.228
as a brother, we''re going to
try to give you some guidance,

00:45:30.228 --> 00:45:32.030
some way somehow.

00:45:32.030 --> 00:45:33.331
I''m with you.

00:45:33.331 --> 00:45:35.767
Let me give you my card
and you can give me a call, you know, when
the election pass.

00:45:35.767 --> 00:45:37.035
It''s a pleasure.

00:45:37.035 --> 00:45:38.069
OK. Thank you!

Hi, how are you?

00:45:52.518 --> 00:45:54.019
So, you''re going
to go out with her,

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:55.154
which I think is a great.

00:45:55.154 --> 00:45:56.622
It''s always fun to knock
with a candidate.

00:46:21.414 --> 00:46:24.884
What we looking for?

00:46:24.884 --> 00:46:25.552

Well, OK, I mean..

00:47:44.033 --> 00:47:48.037
You guys need to be as
aggressive as possible.

00:47:48.037 --> 00:47:50.006
Pulling people out to

00:47:51.007 --> 00:47:52.408
Turnout''s high.

Can he come poll stand?

00:48:31.983 --> 00:48:35.520
She wants
everybody go out,

00:48:35.520 --> 00:48:36.654
and I can''t force him to go out.

00:48:37.822 --> 00:48:41.025
I can''t.

00:48:50.769 --> 00:48:54.006
I'm really done.

00:49:00.946 --> 00:49:04.650
We''re going to go find
the folks

00:49:04.650 --> 00:49:05.951

00:49:05.951 --> 00:49:10.022
and we are literally going to
take them with us to go vote.Yeah, you just...

00:49:10.022 --> 00:49:11.657
No, just make them vote.

00:49:11.657 --> 00:49:13.059
Just go back and back

00:49:13.059 --> 00:49:16.362
and back and back

00:49:16.362 --> 00:49:18.931
Hang out if they say
they''ll be home in ten minutes.

00:49:18.931 --> 00:49:20.099
Just wait.

00:49:20.099 --> 00:49:21.034
This is still totally,

00:49:21.034 --> 00:49:22.235
completely winnable if we go out

00:49:22.235 --> 00:49:23.736
and do what we need to do.
